Although well intentioned, I had many questions about our imminent arrival. Some questions were heart-felt, others were mind-blowing. Here's my list of questions NOT to ask a pregnant woman, for those of you who would like to keep her a friend and stay alive.Questions NOT to ask:
- Was this a planned pregnancy? (Are you kidding? After 10 years of being together, do you think this just miraculously happened?)
- What will happen to all your partying? (Umm, did I mention I am OVER 40? - partying for me is a pair of PJs, a movie and a glass of wine)
- Aren't you worried about lack of sleep? (Ha! Waiting up for teens to roll home and leading a stressful life, doesn't allow for much sleep. At least now I will have something to occupy my mind.)
- Are you worried about getting fat? (I will not be gaining weight because of too many twinkies...well maybe a pound or two)
- Aren't you going to miss working (yah, sure...)
- Aren't you going to miss the wine and cosmos? (well this MAY be a valid question)
- Have you lost your mind? (Ok, ok, this may be valid too)
- How's the dog?
- When do you think the weather will warm up?
- Do you think the Canadiens will ever win a game?
My 6yo is a jorney in itself as well :) But I think there should be no preassure for a child to perform. Fathers might want a super baby, but would they marrie one? As far as I can tell I can even win a date :) end I'm pretty out there high end stuff. No, ordinarity for da win! Longly souls move the planet but you won't like to go the same direction. Good luck kid, you'll have to rerect what we couldn't. God Bless!
